13. LEARN HOW TO DO BALINESE DANCE

Take the trip to Ubud or stop by Canggu and join a Balinese Dance class. From the minute you first sit down to watch the dancers, you will be amazed and eager to give it a try yourself! You may not be able to do the moves at first but thankfully the instructors will guide and motivate you until you can do the dance movements correctly. As you master the moves you will also learn about Indonesian philosophy as each step, each movement represents some deep insight into the nature of life and universal law of the Balinese.

14. MAKE YOUR OWN FRAGRANCE

L’Atelier Parfums et Creations in Nusa Dua and Jimbaran offer you the opportunity to find and make the perfect frangrance just for you! When you enter one of their workshops at either Ayana Resort and Spa Jimbaran or Ritz-Carlton Bali Nusa Dua, you will notice a huge array of bottles lined up on the pearl white tables, and there you will begin your journey into fragrance. It starts with a personality test to determine your Zen and Tonic cards; then on sniffing dozens of essential oils and ingredients, choosing the ones you like. Workshops typically take 90 minutes but a 3-hour session is possible if you want to learn more. Either way, you will take a completely personalized souvenir home with you. Children's workshops are available as well!
